This year we will use thin wall BT70 and BT60 rocket tubes for all our rockets. This will allow us to have inter-changeable parts - cargo units nose cones, and boosters. The altimeter will be in a cargo unit and the egg will be in the nose cone. We will also constrain ourselves to 24mm motors of the E class. This will help use get some consistency in the motor selections.

OpenRocket
To create the overall design and then simulate launches,
we will use OpenRocket (http://openrocket.sourceforge.net/).

Here are two designs from team 17-2661.
